A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

As soon as Xiao Cong left, so did all the ministers.

Emperor Tai'an calmed down.

If King Xiang takes action, there is no guarantee that the other princes will not have second thoughts.

Therefore, he wrote another secret order - ordering Xiao Cong to lead an army of 50,000 people to detour from Ganzhou and arrive in the north of Ruidu to garrison.

Yanzhou's Zhongwu Army will not be able to recover for a while, but he still has the Zhenxi Army in hand, and he wants to see if there are any other monsters or snakes that are about to jump out.

After thinking about it, he ordered Liu Boyi and Liu Zhong to return to Ruidu together.

Since there is a prescription, Liu Boyi is not a doctor, and there is no need to stay in Yanzhou. It is better to come back to handle the funeral of Duke Wu.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the bodies of Liu Zhengyan and Mrs. Shen have been kept in ice and have not been buried yet.

As for Liu Zhonghe, he will naturally come back to collect his guilt.

As for the candidate to temporarily take over the Zhongwu Army, Emperor Tai'an simply did not hesitate and appointed a general from the Liu family branch to take over.

It's useless to point at anyone else. Zhongwujun's surname is Liu.

This is the background of the old family. Even if he becomes the emperor, even if the Liu family makes a big mistake, he cannot completely deal with them.

......

Two months later, Yunling and Zhou Qiong returned to Ruidu.

She went to find her grandfather, while Zhou Qiong quietly entered the palace to meet the saint.

"Qiong'er, you've worked hard all the way. If you think about it carefully, I haven't seen you for almost eight months." Emperor Tai'an said with a smile.

Speaking of medical skills, it has to be Mrs. Tang. Ruidu once gave Emperor Tai'an an injection. Now Emperor Tai'an's illness has completely disappeared and he can return to court.

"In accordance with your Majesty's order, I have ordered 50,000 Zhenxi troops to be stationed at the junction of Ruidu and Yanzhou."

Emperor Tai'an nodded with satisfaction, "I am very happy to be able to march at such a speed. After all, you are the blood of the Zhenxihou Mansion. Even if you just took over, they are still willing to obey your orders."

Zhou Qiong knelt on the ground, lowered his eyes and said: "I am young and don't have such a big face. After all, the Zhenxi army is your Majesty's soldiers. They obey your Majesty's orders and believe in General Wei. They can achieve such speed because of Wei." The general arranged it well."

Emperor Tai'an nodded with satisfaction, "Old Wei is indeed doing things safely."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to help him up and said: "Since you are back today, you should go back to pay homage to your ancestors and tell your grandfather and your father that now that you are the Marquis of Zhenxi, they can feel at ease knowing that they know better."

Then he asked, "You have done well both in the Qingzhou epidemic and in leading the troops this time, but what reward do you want?"

Zhou Qiong raised her eyes and asked, "What can uncle give me?"

His expression seemed to still be at the stage of asking him for something when he was a child, so Emperor Tai'an smiled, "Then what do you want?"

Zhou Qiong also laughed, "When I was a child, my dream was to be a general."

Emperor Tai'an was startled and smiled slightly, "Do you want to take General Wei's place?"

"Uncle, can't you? Although you have decreed that General Wei and I should be in charge of the Western Army, but I have no real power except for the name of a marquis..."

Zhou Qiong's expression was a bit sad and a bit unconvinced, "The officers and soldiers in the army now listen to General Wei. They all think that I am young and have never taken me seriously."

Emperor Tai'an looked slightly relaxed, then smiled and said: "You are indeed still young, and you still need experience if you want to convince the public."

Zhou Qiong nodded in annoyance, "I listen to my uncle."

Emperor Tai'an was actually very conflicted in his heart.

He wanted Zhou Qiong to live a good life, but he didn't want him to really take charge of the military like the old marquis and Zhou Xuanhui did.

As an emperor, he wanted to dominate everything and did not want to be swayed by ministers in charge of military power.

Whether it was the Zhongwu Army or the Zhenxi Army, he wanted them all to bear the surname Xiao, instead of calling them His Majesty, secretly their surnames were Liu and Zhou.

"You are getting older, and now you should be anxious about major events in your life."

"I heard that Tang Jingmo's granddaughter returned to Ruidu with you?" Emperor Tai'an asked.

Zhou Qiong knew that Emperor Tai'an had an informant in the army and had no intention of hiding it from the beginning.

He said: "Yes, Miss Tang has been studying diseases and prescriptions with Mrs. Tang all the way. Since Mrs. Tang returned to Ruidu, she has been helping diagnose and treat patients. This time you ordered me to come back, and I will take her back to Ruidu on the way. I wouldn’t worry if she stayed alone in Qingzhou.”

"Uncle, do you have a reward for her?" Zhou Qiong asked.

Emperor Tai'an laughed loudly, "You Zhou family are really in love! Don't worry, since she is your fiancée, my reward will definitely not be less."

"Let's do this. I will grant you a marriage and give her a dowry. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

On the way back, Zhou Qiong had already expected that Emperor Tai'an would never delegate power to him easily, and probably just rewarded him with some gold, silver and jewels to frustrate him.

Unexpectedly, a marriage proposal came directly.

Although it was beyond his expectation, it also made him happy and satisfied.

"Looking at how happy you are, I will let the Qintian Supervisor choose a date."

Emperor Tai'an reached out and patted his shoulder, "I will send an official ship to Yuezhou today to bring your mother and grandmother back to prepare for your wedding. You also send someone to pick up the Tang family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zhou Qiong left, Emperor Tai'an smiled and said to Zhao Sanbao: "Look, he is a young man after all, and his happiness is written on his face."

Zhao Sanbao also joined in: "Yes, starting a family is a great joy."

As he spoke, he asked cautiously: "I remember that the eldest prince is two years older than Crown Prince Zhou. I wonder what kind of princess your majesty will choose for the eldest prince?"

Seeing that Emperor Tai'an was not displeased, he smiled and said: "I have been walking outside recently, and many ministers have asked me about this matter. I think they also think that the eldest prince has reached his age and they all want to be your majesty's in-laws!"

Emperor Tai'an chuckled and said, "I'm looking at it, and I have chosen a few people, but in the end, the concubine must agree to whoever it is."

This is what he promised.

As he spoke, his expression darkened, "The imperial concubine has been living in another courtyard. She hasn't replied to my letter and won't come back. I can't be sure of her intentions."

"The eldest prince is still in Zhongzhou now. There is no rush to wait until he comes back." Zhao Sanbao hurriedly advised.

When mentioning King Xiang, Emperor Tai'an laughed, "This brother of mine is becoming more and more timid as he gets more and more active. I originally thought that he was serious this time, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a big thunder and a small rain. Cong'er only brought After only a few thousand men and horses left, he gave up."

Zhao Sanbao immediately patted him: "The eldest prince is still very powerful. He took over half of King Xiang's troops as soon as he left. From now on, King Xiang will not be able to stir up trouble even if he wants to cause trouble!"

Emperor Tai'an nodded, "It can be considered a good thing."

Zhao Sanbao said: "Your Majesty has recovered from his illness this time, and the happy news of Zhenxi Marquis' marriage is ahead of him. This good thing will only become more and more good."

Referring to the so-called "good thing", Emperor Tai'an asked: "Will Liu Boyi and Liu Zhonghe return to Ruidu soon?"

"According to the last news, it will arrive in the next few days."

Emperor Tai'an nodded with satisfaction.

This time, he had to frustrate Liu's party.
